What started as a call about a possible kidnapping in Burnsville, thankfully, turned out to be nothing more than a safety lesson. However, it still serves as an important reminder for drivers and passengers alike.

A Burnsville man has been charged with second-degree intentional murder in connection with the death of a Faribault man whose body was discovered at Interlachen Park earlier this year.

Several officers responded to reports of a possible shooting at the Concierge Apartments on Thursday evening, July 31, 2025. The incident occurred around 8:40 PM in the 7600 block of Penn Avenue South, prompting a swift and coordinated response from multiple law enforcement agencies.

A large multi-agency response was called to the scene of a third-alarm structure fire in Burnsville early Wednesday morning, July 30, 2025. According to officials, the blaze broke out shortly after 7:40 a.m. in the 1000 block of Knob Hill Road.

Officials are sounding the alarm as mosquitoes across all seven Twin Cities metro counties have tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV), according to a recent update from the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District (MMCD).
